On a used car? Impressive. I was talking sub £15k here by the way.

A few people I know that have bought from dealers have had almost no luck with discounts recently. I know you cant expect dealers to accept first offers but I've heard of several who claim the cars are "priced to sell" and will barely move on price at all. Are these people just bad negotiators...

Obviously don't know the full story but wanted to wish you well. You don't need people like that in your life so forget about her. I literally don't know how some people sleep at night.

Yep I'd definitely say that's OTT, unless they've shot up in price in the last few months. The anthracite leather is the official name for the grey, which was actually an option. It was possible to have one without leather.

I know Halfrauds used to sell some for common cars, google is your friend here though.

I'd be listening to Fox here. Avoid.

GD response: OP name is somewhat befitting. Actual response: I'm by no means an expert but it will depend massively on the car surely? Are you going for aesthetics only here? Bare in mind, ride comfort will be impacted, amongst other things.

I don't think you ever get the choice of which one to download/install. Your key will be linked to a certain product eg. Windows 8 Pro and it'll download the appropriate version based on the computer you download it from. It's assuming you're upgrading the Windows on that machine. Refers to the...

Control Panel (search) > Windows Activation Mine displays the Media center key but would imagine it shows the base key if you don't have MC. This is for Windows 8, assuming it's the same for 7 but it's been a while. :rolleyes: Don't think it does this on 7, apologies.

For future reference, Windows shows you the last characters of a key in control panel.

Pre-facelift and facelift, cosmetic differences only. You can tell straight away by the bobbled headlights on the facelift models. Facelift were 06 (maybe 56?) onwards and are more desirable but prices vary with mileage etc.

I do see your predicament here. Being a stand up guy, I'll help you out by going away with your missus instead. *Pics of her first please.

Sounds like you got good money to be honest, especially as the mods make it less desirable to the masses. They're only ever going to go down in price now the new one has been out a while surely?

This is also possible in GTA IV with mods. Can't wait to mod V :D

I contemplated having mine done, but stories of poor workmanship put me off; things like having knife marks all over the original paint when you inevitably have to remove the wrap. Unless you car is near perfect (paint wise) you risk pulling original paint off as well. Also, selling a...

What a babe.

This is sort of correct. I don't think you're guaranteed to get the original plate back but it's not really an issue as it'll still be one related to the age of the car. Also, it's £80 to transfer a plate straight to another car, or £105 if you put it onto retention for (up to) a year; which...

Ok thanks. Have ordered a bottle so will probably end up trying it both ways.

New to detailing. Can this BSD be used after washing without the need to dry first? Would make my life easier if it gives the same results as drying and then applying.

Fair point. Didn't think you could get an S3 for 12k though. Not really a fan of Audi either. :rolleyes: The 3.2 A3 is the same car (mechanically) as the R32, so that could be a cheaper option like you say.
